Has anyone ever noticed how many redheads feature on my blog? Well, I can tell you that it’s definitely not deliberate, but it feels like some kind of wonderful gift from the universe, and I am loving it!
It’s no secret to those who know me well that I love red hair. For starters, my favourite book as a child was Anne of Green Gables: oh how I longed to have red hair like Anne! Also, growing up in a family passionate about fine art, I had access to a lot of books and became obsessed with painters and paintings from the Italian Renaissance and the Romantic Era, and so many of their subjects had fiery red hair and pale, pale skin, which I thought was the absolute epitome of beauty. When I was about 14, I put a semi-permanent colour in my own hair and you can imagine my dismay when I realised that my blonde hair and a red rinse made…HOT PINK HAIR! Which would have been super cool about five years later, but at the time was completely and utterly mortifying! Several years later, when I was at uni, I did it properly, loved it and kept it that way for over a year. But alas, it was never going to be the same as having naturally red hair, like these two little cuties.
How gorgeous are they? And how perfectly does their hair and colouring match the beautiful autumnal light and colours?!
